La Gourmet 28cm Ceramic Wok with Glass Lid ($69.90);La Gourmet 24cm Ceramic Frypan ($49.90)

Whether you choose the wok or frypan to whip upbuah keluak fried rice, both iterations employ a proprietary ceramic coating on the thick-gauge aluminium body instead of the usual non-stick coatings of PFAS and PTFEs.
